Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing square noodles.

Normally, when manufacturing square noodles, a shaping cutting machine as shown in the explanatory diagram of FIG. 1 is generally used.
1 and 2 are rolls, which are mounted parallel to each other on a frame 4 so that an appropriate gap can be adjusted with screws 3, 3, and are connected to the shaft 5' of the opposing roll by a gear 6 mounted on the shaft 5 of the driving wheel. The opposing roll 2 is rotated by the engagement of the attached gear 6'. A large number of protrusions 7 are provided on the roll 1 at equal intervals, and grooves 8 are formed between them. That is, the opposing roll 2 has a groove 8' facing the protrusion 7 of the roll 1 and a groove 8 of the roll 1.
A large number of protrusions 7' are provided at equal intervals.
Normally, the protrusions 7, 7' of the two rolls 1, 2 face each other in a plane with the respective grooves 8', 8 of the opposing rolls, and the protrusions 7, 7' are located at both ends of each other. come into contact with That is, as shown in FIG. 2A, which is an enlarged view of section a in FIG.

Generally, a space B is used between the noodle strings A and rolls 1 and 2, as shown in FIG. 2A. When there is little moisture in the noodle strip to be inserted, the noodle will become square in cross-section as shown in Figure 2 (b), and the shoulder at the top corner will inevitably fall off. If there is a lot of moisture in the noodle strip, the shape of the noodle strings between the rolls will be as shown in explanatory diagram A in Figure 3. Because the noodles are curved, the flavor and texture of square noodles decreases. Figure B shows its cross-sectional state.

The present invention was made to prevent this, and when the noodle strip is inserted between the rolls 1 and 2 and the noodle strings are cut out between the convex strips 7 and 7' and the groove strips 8' and 8. In this, the gap B that was conventionally formed on the groove side of the noodle strings A is eliminated, that is, the convex strip 7 and the opposing groove strip 8' are removed.
The roll gap is adjusted so that the noodle strip is not tightly inserted between the noodle strips and a gap B is created between the protrusions 7, 7',
By making the facing surfaces of the opposing grooves 8' and 8 have a cutting edge structure which is slightly higher and curved in the shape of an arc at the center, beautiful square noodle strings can be obtained. That is, FIG. 4A is a partially enlarged cross-sectional explanatory view showing the state of the roll when the shaping cutting machine used in the present invention is used. The surface has a slightly higher arc-shaped curved part 9 in the center, and in the gap between the parts, noodle strips are inserted closely and shaped cutting is performed to form the noodle strings A and the convex strips 7,
It is important to operate so that there is no space at all between the grooves 7' and the grooves 8', 8.

In the case of noodle strips with a high moisture content, it is necessary to increase the degree of curvature of the cutting blade, and in this case, the cut noodle strips are
The product has a shape as shown in Figure B, but during the drying process it becomes a product with a rectangular cross section as shown in Figure C. Furthermore, when the moisture content is low, by reducing the degree of curvature of the cutting blade, the shape of the noodles shown in Figure C can be obtained in the same manner.

Also, as shown in the blade shape shown in FIG.
The same effect can be obtained by making the mutually opposing surfaces of 7' and grooves 8', 8 slightly higher in the center and slightly notched horizontally at the top (the notch is 10). As a result of experiments, it was found that

As described above, the present invention provides two parallel rolls in which a large number of protrusions and grooves are engaged with each other. This is a method for producing square noodles, the gist of which is to insert noodle strips tightly between rolls without any gaps and cut them into shapes using a blade-shaped square noodle shaping/dividing machine with only the top part cut out horizontally.
